We’ve asked our friend, the super talented artist, Linda Olliver to help you out. She’s created these special puppets you and your child can make together.
To download a printable PDF of the characters, click either image above.
Step 1: Dowload the PDF by clicking on the images to the right, and print it out.
Step 2: Have your own little artist color, paint or glitter glue them.
Step 3: Cut along the dotted lines.
Step 4: Glue onto a popsicle stick.
Now your child has his or her very own set of puppets to star in the show. See where the story takes them!
The kids are armed with their imaginations and puppets, now they need a stage. For your child’s next production, pop on over to Make and Takes to get inspiration for making a puppet theater of your own (click here). Not a sewing master or maven? A turned around couch or chair makes a great stage too. However the stage is set, you’ll create memories and skills that will last a lifetime.
